Check out the majestic Northern Lights in Donegal

You don’t have to travel too far to be within eyesight of the mystical Northern Lights. With scenic views and a lack of light pollution, Inishowen, in Co Donegal, is ideal for seeing the Aurora Borealis - if conditions are right.

Malin Head, Dunaff, Mamore Gap and Dunree are the best spots to catch a glimpse of the Lights. With cosy pubs to warm your bones, jaw-dropping scenery and ancient sites to explore, you will find plenty of other romantic things to do if the Lights are a no-show.

Make sure to sign up for Aurora alerts with Astronomy Ireland.

It's finally your chance to say, 'No one puts Baby in the corner'

You can be Johnny and she can be Baby. There’s not one woman in the world who doesn’t love 1987‘s Dirty Dancing.

The live version is hitting the Bord Gais Energy Theatre on February 7 - 11 and is packed full of all the hit songs including Hungry Eyes, Hey Baby, Do You Love Me? We predict dancing in the aisles.

In a world of chaos treat your loved one to some calm in Co Leitrim

A video of the peaceful Glencar Waterfall has been helping millions of people around the world get some well-needed sleep. Why not visit the spot for yourselves?

It’s just a stone's throw from Glencar Lake and the tranquil spot is the stunning end to a lovely wooded walk. 11km west of Manorhamilton, there's plenty more waterfalls along your way but none as romantic as Glencar.

Go retro with a drive-in movie in Co Cork

Your teenage self (and his/hers) will be squealing with delight with this treat. And we’re guessing there will be a few steamy windows as The Movie Junction in Cork is showing Fifth Shades Darker on Valentine’s weekend. You can get pizza delivered to your car too. Saucy!

6. Hop on the Luas and let Freud blow your mind

Impress your other half with this groundbreaking exhibition featuring the magnificent works of Lucian Freud at Dublin’s IMMA.

The late German-born English painter was the grandson of the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, and he is considered one of the greatest realist painters of the 20th-century.

There’s lots more on show at IMMA and a gorgeous maze garden, perfect for a post-exhibition romantic stroll.

A magical evening is guaranteed at the National Concert Hall

It’s been 12 years since Declan O’Rourke released his masterpiece Galileo from his album Since Kyabram. The gifted multi-platinum artist returns to the National Concert Hall following his sold-out and astoundingly atmospheric concert with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra in 2015, for a special Valentine’s night gig.

Don't miss the rare chance to enjoy O'Rourke with the mighty weight of the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, in Galileo, A Little Something,Whatever Else Happens and more.

Tickets from €13.

And if the very thought of V-Day makes you puke then this is the gig for you

Now in its 12th Year, The Rocky Horror Picture Show Ireland will be treating guests to a filthy night of depravity and delight at Dublin’s Sugar Club.

As a perfect antidote to the sickly sweetness of the season, this year on Saturday February 11, there is a place to retreat from the gazing doe eyed couples of Valentine’s eve.
